SEOUL (Reuters) - A German court ruled against Samsung Electronics Co in a patent suit versus Apple,
another leg in a long legal battle as the two technology giants jostle
for top spot in the booming smartphone and tablet markets.
Samsung, which passed Apple in the third quarter as the world's top maker of smartphones,
is locked in a bruising patent tussle with the U.S. firm in some 10
countries from the United States to Australia, France and Japan.
"This ruling related
to only one of 13 patents that are currently in suit between those
parties in Germany, and of dozens of patents on a worldwide basis," said
independent patent expert Florian Mueller.
"It's not the first
rejection of a complaint involving these two players, and barring a
major surprise, it won't be the last."
